How does the shape of the worm change as it move

2 answers:

In earthworms, each segment can move independently, so that alternating contractions between the two different sets of muscles in many different segments create shape changes all along the body. This produces accordion-like body movements that help the worm push through soil and maneuver through small spaces within

When the circular muscles contract, the earthworm stretches, becoming longer and thinner. The earthworm uses its setae to anchor the front of its body in the soil. Now the longitudinal muscles contract and the earthworm becomes shorter and wider or it bends from one side to the other, pulling the body forward.

The separation of sediments into layers that differ from one another in texture, composition,color, or weathering characteristic

garri49 [273]

"Bedding is the separation of sediments into layers that differ from one another in texture, composition, color, or weathering characteristics".

Option (b);

<u>EXPLANATION: </u>

Sediments mean the matter that gets accumulated in one place. Sedimentary rocks are the results of the rock due to the accumulation of small particles that get weathered from rocks or erosion over time. They get accumulated either on the bottom of the sea level or earth's surface and thus the sediment rocks are formed.

These layers of sediments that are created based on difference in their shape, size, color and composition results it in bedding.The size of rocks in bedding ranges from several millimetres to centimetres and it sometimes results in a meter thick.
